    Hands down one of the best climbing channels in TH-cam. No drones, no techno music. Just pure climbing. Your Patagonian videos are just perfect. Great recording, great storytelling, and... what a skyline! Keep it up!

      @@neoneo4221 they’re a fairly new channel and this video hit 251,332 views, all things considering that’s pretty good! I am confident their channel will continue to grow. This the first time I watch one of their videos and it’s precisely the reasons this person mentioned that I am subscribing to this channel. I am over annoying background music and aerial shots. I love this raw and personal feel.

    Tyler, I've been meaning to comment that I've been enjoying these Patagonia videos immensely (along with your descriptions and Instagram posts). Up here in Canada it has been a wet and crummy March that doesn't have me stoked on skiing and I'm waiting for a rock climbing season that I'm already mourning the loss of because I'm about to start my first real desk job and become one of those weekend warriors, so I've been living vicariously through these videos. You joked in a previous video that you didn't understand why people like these, but it's just pure climbing. No long backstory, ominous music and multiple epic shots with expensive camera equipment and drones, but rather, relatable and real content that reminds us climbers of fun days out and adventures with friends (okay maybe not in Patagonia for me, but you get the gist of what I'm saying). Keep on keeping on!

    I can't even comprehend this. Also, I worked machining stone for years and know just how weak it can be. Some of the pieces around 7:20 could be pried off with a medium sized crowbar. Relying on them as holds would be scary enough, I can't imagine climbing below someone else who is.

    I'm amazed that someone installed bolts next to pefect pro cracks.
    At last we get to see some of the famous patagonian winds...it was because of these that don whillans invented the "Box" tent which was used on everest face routes etc.

    wow! that route is off the charts... at least from my armchair. the arete exposure and the quality of the rock and the jamming just look epic! 9:32 with the ice, yikes, but that probably feels like nothing after the route but looks sketch. and 10:30, like seeing these moments, transitions are funky sometimes. the bolts next to cracks seems lame but this all out of my league anyway so just blather. thanks! this was my favorite! so so good.

    As a non climber who has been loving all these videos, can someone help me understand a couple things?
    1) at 1:55 is Tyler holding the line here in case Pedro falls? It feels so long of distance so I can't imagine being able to hold that weight. At 3:25 what is holding in case Pedro falls also.
    2) at 3:16 is all his body weight supported by the one bolt here? Seems like a ton of weight (im scared)
    3) at 4:44 is this someone elses bolt? Are these generally trusted by everyone who climbs? Is there a certain weight limit for these type of bolts or secondary protection?
    Thank you and I am just trying to grasp better how these amazing climbs are done.

      Anyway, this is an obvious scenario where bolts are not needed. The crack is totally continuous. To see this at a local crag would be surprising/unethical, let alone somewhere this remote. Someone had to haul the hardware all this way, and for a dumb reason.

      I thought the same too. Maybe the first ascentionist didn't want others to carry 5+ yellow cams to protect the pitch? Those bolts would have been immediately chopped if it were my local climbing crag. Makes me think of the Compressor Route. Patagonia must have different ethics on bolts. Even the bolted belays seemed unnecessary.
